Travel and Leisure: Palawan is the Number One Best Island in Asia and the World

Are you planning to go on a trip any time soon but can’t decide where to go? If you enjoy basking in the sun or diving in crystal clear waters, this precious island in the Philippines will surely make you pack your bags and book a flight.

Palawan is just one of the many wonders that the Philippines can offer. The readers of Travel and Leisure Magazine have voted this island as the number one best island to visit not only in Asia but also in the world.

What Makes Palawan the Best?

If you’re going on a trip around South East Asia, make sure that you put Palawan on your list. Offering green mountains, limestone caves and one of the world’s longest underground rivers — Palawan is a haven for wanderers.

Adventure travel companies like One Life Adventures attests to how majestic Palawan is with its breathtaking features and experiences. Travellers can enjoy unspoilt, sugar-white beaches and world-class scuba diving experiences in its turquoise waters.

Food lovers cannot be left out, of course. Palawan offers a variety of freshly-caught local seafood cooked in ways that will satisfy your taste buds. You can also enjoy a bottle, or more, of locally-brewed beer without spending too much money.

Going to Palawan

If you can’t find a direct flight from Australia to Puerto Princesa, you can fly to Manila, and from there, take another flight to Puerto Princesa. Another option would be to board a ferry boat from Manila to Palawan, but this could take about 18 to 22 hours.

The best time to visit this wonderful tropical island is from April to early June wherein the temperature is moderate and ideal to have fun and explore. Do note that typhoons usually come from July to September.

Palawan has a lot to offer to its visitors. You can go to El Nido, Coron or Puerto Princesa, or maybe visit the most out of your trip.
